Just Like Me?

What if the world was just like you? What if everyone did their jobs just like you? What if everyone handled life situations just like you? What if everyone had the same focus, goals and career as you? What if the world was JUST LIKE YOU?

Do you ever think when you are going about your daily activities; "did I do that to the best of my ability?", "did I handle that situation correctly?", "could I have done that better?", "am I doing the very thing that God has created me to do?". Have you ever felt like you were out of your element?

I have been challenged recently by God to be a better person. I have been called to a position higher than I deserve. I have been given opportunities that at times I know I don't deserve. Why? I know its not of any good of my own; but because of the grace of God.

But what good would it be if I took all the opportunities thrown at me if I throw them away? If I decide that I am going to slack on my gifts and not use my full potential. How many people will be affected by my disobedience or disdain to the ability that I have to change the lives of many people positively? Yes, God has the power to choose another person; but why shouldn't I just do it?

Many times we take opportunities for granted, we take our jobs for granted, we take our families for granted, WE TAKE OUR LIVES FOR GRANTED. What if everyone approached their job by showing up late, doing half the work, placing their attention on other things except meeting the needs of what their job requires? We would have doctors botching surgeries, radiation therapist missing the tumors, nurses giving too much of the wrong medication, lawyers putting innocent people in jail, mechanics missing the oil in your engine, teachers giving incorrect information, pilots causing the planes to land on homes, chefs using outdated ingredients. These are just a few examples of how a negligent person can cause a harmless situation to go really bad; really quick.

Today, CHOOSE to be present in whatever God has given you to do, CHOOSE to be the best at what you do, CHOOSE to not accept mediocrity when it comes to your abilities. If you do this, God WILL give you more responsibilities. He can't use you if you're a procrastinator, if you are careless, if you are unsure. He needs people who can get the job done effectively and expeditiously. God just can't WAIT ON YOU!

So I ask, what if the world was Just Like You?
